Aaron Liddard's 'Nylon Man'
Giulia Marelli (vocals) Aaron Liddard (sax & keys) Chris Jerome (keys) Giulio Romano Malaisi (guitar) Paul Michael (bass) Eric Young (drums) Yalm Food Court Entry £18 (inc booking fee)PURCHASE TICKETS |
Named after the three cities that most influenced Aaron (New York, London and Manchester) the 2022 album - "roughly 12 years in the making" - brought together a cast of 42 musicians from a diversity of genres and styles, including vocalist Carleen Anderson, violinist Omar Puente, trumpeter Yelfris Valdes and saxophonist / guitarist Harry Greene.
Performed this evening by Aaron's regular sextet, their newly-expanded set could be said to be genre-defying, but fuses funk, soul, Cuban and Brazilian styles with an over-arching jazz sensibility. Wherever they play, the band's seductive grooves and feel-good vibe never fail to enthrall their audience who are soon singing and clapping along.
“A Michael Brecker-like power and intensity... a highly uplifting experience” - Ian Mann, THE JAZZ MANN
“Liddard has a particularly broad and all-encompassing vision of music” - Dan Paton, LONDON JAZZ NEWS
Doors 6pm / Music from 7.30pm-10pm

The Northern Star Organ Trio
Rob Bromhead (guitar) Bob Birch (Hammond organ) Bruce Renshaw (drums) Maddermarket Theatre Bar Entry £18 / U25s £9PURCHASE TICKETS |
In particular it’ll be great to welcome guitarist Rob Bromhead back to the club who had early-career links to Norwich in the years following his graduation from the Leeds College of Music jazz course.
Organist Bob Birch rose to prominence after joining the "New Mastersounds" funk / jazz fusion band in 1998, touring Europe and the US for over twenty years and producing over a dozen albums. Meantime drummer Bruce Renshaw, who specialised in drums, piano and composition at Leeds College of Music, now regularly plays in rock bands, big bands, jazz bands, percussion ensembles, brass bands, funk bands and musicals.
There’s nothing so visceral as getting up-close to a real Hammond organ complete with rotary speaker, so don’t miss what promises to be an evening of driving grooves from this super-tight trio. Check out their recording of Jack McDuff's "601 1/2 North Poplar" here.
Doors 7.30pm / music from 8.30pm
